¹[A Psalm] of Solomon. Give the king thy judgments, O God, And thy righteousness unto the king's son.

¹¶ Na Horomona. Homai, e te Atua, au whakaritenga ki te kingi, me tou tika ki te tama a te kingi.

²He will judge thy people with righteousness, And thy poor with justice.

²¶ Mana e whakawa tou iwi i runga i te tika, au rawakore i runga i te whakawa tika.

³The mountains shall bring peace to the people, And the hills, in righteousness.

³Ka kawea mai e nga maunga te rongo mau ki te iwi, e nga pukepuke i runga i te tika.

⁴He will judge the poor of the people, He will save the children of the needy, And will break in pieces the oppressor.

⁴Ka whakawa ia mo nga ware o te iwi: ka whakaorangia e ia nga tamariki a te rawakore; mongamonga noa i a ia te kaitukino.

⁵They shall fear thee while the sun endureth, And so long as the moon, throughout all generations.

⁵I te ra e mau ana, i te marama hoki, ka pera te mau o to ratou wehi ki a koe i nga whakatupuranga katoa.

⁶He will come down like rain upon the mown grass, As showers that water the earth.

⁶E heke iho ia ano he ua ki runga ki te kotinga tarutaru, me nga ua e whakamakuku nei i te whenua.

⁷In his days shall the righteous flourish, And abundance of peace, till the moon be no more.

⁷Ka tupu te tangata tika i ona ra: tona roa ano o te ata noho, a kore noa te marama.

⁸He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, And from the River unto the ends of the earth.

⁸Ka kingi ia i tenei moana, a tae noa ki tetahi moana, i te awa, a nga pito atu ano o te whenua.

⁹They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; And his enemies shall lick the dust.

⁹Ka piko ki tona aroaro te hunga o te koraha: a ka mitimiti ona hoariri i te puehu.

¹⁰The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall render tribute: The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.

¹⁰Ka maua mai he hakari e nga kingi o Tarahihi, o nga motu: ka kawea mai he tahua e nga kingi o Hepa, o Tepa.

¹¹Yea, all kings shall fall down before him; All nations shall serve him.

¹¹Ae, ka koropiko nga kingi katoa ki a ia: ka mahi nga iwi katoa ki a ia.

¹²For he will deliver the needy when he crieth, And the poor, that hath no helper.

¹²Ka ora hoki i a ia te rawakore ua tangi atu, te ware hoki me te tangata kahore nei ona kaiawhina.

¹³He will have pity on the poor and needy, And the souls of the needy he will save.

¹³E tohu ia i te tangata iti, i te rawakore; ka ora ano i a ia nga wairua o nga rawakore.

¹⁴He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence; And precious will their blood be in his sight:

¹⁴Ka hokona e ia to ratou wairua i roto i te tukino, i te tutu, he mea utu nui hoki o ratou toto ki tana titiro.

¹⁵And they shall live; and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: And men shall pray for him continually; They shall bless him all the day long.

¹⁵A e ora ratou; ka hoatu ano ki a ia he koura no Hepa: ka tukua tonutia hoki te inoi mona; ka whakapaingia ia i tenei ra, i tenei ra.

¹⁶There shall be abundance of grain in the earth upon the top of the mountains; The fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: And they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.

¹⁶He kutanga witi tera i runga i te whenua, i te tihi o nga maunga; ngarue ana ona hua, ano ko Repanona, a ka rite te tupu o nga tangata o te pa ki to te tarutaru o te whenua.

¹⁷His name shall endure for ever; His name shall be continued as long as the sun: And men shall be blessed in him; All nations shall call him happy.

¹⁷Ka mau tonu tona ingoa ake ake; ka rite tona ingoa ki te ra te pumau: kei roto i a ia te manaaki mo te tangata; ka korerotia tona koa e nga iwi katoa.

¹⁸Blessed be Jehovah God, the God of Israel, Who only doeth wondrous things:

¹⁸¶ Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa, te Atua, te Atua o Iharaira: ko ia nei anake hei mahi i nga mahi whakamiharo;

¹⁹And blessed be his glorious name for ever; And let the whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen, and Amen.

¹⁹Kia whakapaingia ano tona ingoa kororia mo ake tonu atu; kia ki katoa hoki te whenua i tona kororia. Amine, ae Amine.
